We present the challenges and the recent developments in spin-transfer and spin-orbit torque … Spin-orbit torques arise from the spin hall effect creating a spin-current, which then provides a spin-transfer torque that acts on the magnetization of a ferromagnet. Spin-based devices are widely discussed for post-complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) applications. Spin transfer torque is a promising new mechanism to “write” magnetic storage elements in magnetic random access memory (MRAM) devices with magnesium oxide (MgO)-based magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) architecture. <>

A number of spin device ideas propose using spin current to carry information coherently through a spin channel and transfering it to an output magnet by spin transfer torque. Abstract: Spin transfer torque-MRAM is a viable non-volatile memory solution for replacing conventional memories and can cover a broad range of embedded memory applications. Spin transfer torque and spin orbit torque both happen when the non-equilibrium spin density (the spin quantity carried by the electronic flux) is not collinear to the direction of the magnetization. Spin-transfer torque can be used to flip the active elements in magnetic random-access memory. H PMA can be reduced by voltage due to the VCMA effect, which is expressed below. A particular challenge the STT-RAM industry faces is maintaining a high thermal stability while trying to switch within a given voltage pulse with an acceptably low error rate and energy cost.
